I could have taken this review as an opportunity to crap all over The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and its lousy theatrical poster that makes it look like the cast is answering a call of “News team, assemble!” But I wont. Because, as much as it pains me […]
The legacy of James Bond is a mixed bag for me. Some of my first memories are my dad ogling Bond girl jugs as we watched 007 marathons on TBS together. Later, as an adult, I viewed a few Bond movies via Netflix and realized that, other than the Sean […]
Another week, another computer-animated film designed to hit all the right notes with both child and adult audiences. This week, it’s Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, featuring the fantastic John C. Reilly as the titular character, a video game villain who tires of being the bad guy and sets out to see […]
